CO2 regulators are available in either CGA320 style (for H cylinder) or CGA940 style (for D or E cylinder) . Depending on the application or procedure, a number of options are available.WT Farley offers CO2 regulators that are preset at 50 PSI or adjustable from 0-100 PSI (with standard DISS 1080 outlet adapter), as well as adjustable liter flow models (0-12 LPM) . These can be used in Biomed, Respiratory Therapy, Operating Room, or Clinical Laboratory settings. Other custom options are available; let us know how we can help meet your clinical situation.

Another related item that W.T Farley offers is the CO2 Insufflation yoke and manifold that is used in the O.R. setting. These accessories will interface with Insufflators and are available in a number of custom configurations as well as standard ones. The CO2 Insufflation yoke with cylinder pressure/contents gauge (MF-SP16INSUF) offers a visual indicator of cylinder contents while in use (reducing the chance of having an empty cylinder in the middle of a procedure). Our MB-SPCO2INSUF is a unique device manifolding two cylinders together; when one cylinder is empty, simply shut it off and turn the full one on. The empty one can then be replaced at the end of the procedure. This not only insures a sufficient supply of gas to complete the procedure, but it also eliminates CO2 waste as well. Important note: a partial cylinder will not have to be discarded because it does not have sufficient gas to complete a procedure. Carbon oxide regulators can be purchased by WT Farley.

Nitrogen is a gas that is used mainly in the Operating Room as a means of supplying power to pneumatic tools used there (saws, drills, etc). The range of pressure required is routinely 0-200 PSI adjustable pressure; however, other configurations are available and can be utilized. The regulator inlet for “H” or “K” size cylinders is CGA 580 and CGA 960 for the “E” size cylinders. The outlet is normally a Shrader style female quick connect coupler, or a DISS 1120 Male standard threaded fitting. An extension hose would then be utilized to interface between the regulator outlet and the tool.
A unique option is the dual outlet adjustable Nitrogen regulator that allows 2 devices to be attached and adjusted independently from 1 single cylinder. This is available in only the CGA 580 style inlet. It can also come equipped with either the Shrader style couplers or DISS 1120 Male fittings as outlets.

In-line style Nitrogen regulators utilize wall outlet gas when powering O.R. tools. Standard pressure range is also 0-200 PSI, with other options available, and can be configured with DISS 1120 or Shrader style inlets and outlets. It is also available in a dual outlet configuration where 2 tools can be independently operated at different PSI if necessary.

On occasion, a need will arise for sub-ambient gas in the hospital. This is air comprised of less than 20.9% Oxygen. Since air is essentially 20.9% Oxygen and balance Nitrogen, this can be accomplished by adding Nitrogen to Medical Air, and utilizing an Oxygen Monitor to see exactly what the percentage of Oxygen is in the mixture. Regulators with back pressure compensated Thorpe tubes are available in both CGA 960 and CGA 580 configurations to allow Nitrogen to be dispensed in flow rates that are accurately calibrated for Nitrogen. They can also come with an optional 50 PSI DISS 1120 check valve outlet for attachment to a ventilator or blender.
